So I tried my new flat/curling iron and boy, was it awesome. It took a few tries but I got the hang of it after a while, so one side of my head got real curls and the other just got kind of wavy, haha.
I’m going for that beachy wave look, I want texture, not real curls. Real curls are too sugary sweet for me, it would make it too hard to dress in edgier styles. But my new waves immediately inspired me to go for a softer, romantic look. I reaaaaally wanted to wear my new skorts (never knew those were so awesome, why did they go out of style?? :D) and I immediately thought of some old top I bought when I was like 14. It fits a bit tighter than it did back then, but I like it better this way. It’s this eyelet-wench-corset like thing in a really soft shade of pink and the shape and length were just perfect with the skorts (damn that is an annoying word, maybe that’s why they went out of style?). And when I was already wearing mostly pink, I could just as well continue and put my pink wedges with it. Et voila, romance in your very own backyard!
top, shorts: h&m
wedges: sac d'anvers
I liked the curls so much that it actually reaffirmed my stance on a perm: I need one. Is it really as bad for your hair as they say? I think I look a lot prettier with curls as they add width to my face, they take attention away from my nose and they just have a more “fun” look than seriously straight tresses. And lord knows I’m fun. Anyone has any experience with perms?
Also: kind of sad Germany lost in the WC yesterday, but Spain played slightly better and those Spaniards are pretty cute. It’s a historical finale, without Germany, Italy, Argentina or Brazil. I do hope Holland wins though. Such a small country with big dreams. Spain will get other chances, Holland most likely will not. Cheer for Holland, people!
I made this kind of focaccia sandwich. I fried some eggplant in extra virgin olive oil, seasoned it with some pepper, and slathered some pesto on the bread. Just layer the pesto, eggplant, some mozzarella, tomato and jà mon serrano (or any other meat you love, salame would be perfect too) on the bread, finish with a bit of basil and let it bake in the oven until the mozarella cheese has melted!
PS: just for fun, I’m adding a pic of my new running shoes! Aren’t they GORGEOUS? haha
You look very dreamy in these pics. I love the wavy curls. You actually inspired me to try that out some time. And the sandwich looks super yummy. I have pesto in my fridge waiting to be used...hmmm
